Only God Was Above Us Tour: Details
Along with the songs, Vampire Weekend has also announced a massive tour of North America to promote the album. Supporting acts include La Lom, The English Beat, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Mike Gordon, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, Princess, Ra Ra Riot, Cults, The Brothers Macklovitch, Turnstiles, and Mark Ronson.
The Only God Was Above Us Tour will start on April 8 in Austin, Texas at the Moody Amphitheater, which has already sold out. The tour is expected to close on October 17, again in Austin Texas at the Mood Amphitheater, pending any additional tour date additions.
The band has been pretty busy promoting the upcoming album and tour via Instagram, but they have also been mysteriously mum about the album and tour’s details. The only bit of info we could find was in a press release for the album which noted that frontman Ezra Koenig described the album as “inspired and haunted by 20th-century New York” and that it was co-produced by Ariel Rechtshaid.

About Vampire Weekend
Vampire Weekend was formed back in 2006 in New York City by Koenig, Rostam Batmanglij (who has since left the band), Chris Baio, and Chris Tomson. They quickly rose to fame after the debut of their eponymous album in 2008 with hits like “A-Punk” and “Oxford Comma”. The band’s most recent album was Father of the Bride, which was released half a decade ago in 2019. Fans have been anxiously anticipating new music from the indie rock outfit, and it looks like they’ll get that and a massive tour as well!
This tour will sell out fast, and some of the early tour dates have already sold out or are coming close to selling out. Get your tickets now before it’s too late!
